sugar, including processed goods in the world in the raw material for the production of agriculture and it is a strategic commodity. the intent of this research is to approach the game theory to analyze the relationship between import and export of sugar, iranian and brazil. the impact of changes in world prices and import tariffs, the welfare of the brazilian study. the data used in this study...

Freshwater stingray injuries are a common problem in the Brazilian Amazon, affecting mostly riverine and indigenous populations. These injuries cause severe local and regional pain, swelling and erythema, as well as complications, such as local necrosis and bacterial infection. Herein, we report a case of bacterial infection and hallux necrosis, after a freshwater stingray injury in the Brazili...

On July 29th, 2014, a new impact factor was released by Thomson Reuters through the Journal Citation Reports® (JCR) 2013 Science Edition for the 82 journals indexed in this database in the Dentistry, Oral Surgery & Medicine category. As the Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Applied Oral Science (JAOS), it was a great honor to realize that another Brazilian journal joined this prestigious list: ...

In this paper, we approach the phenomenon of insubordination in spoken Brazilian Portuguese through data on adverbial clauses extracted from the C-ORAL-BRASIL corpus [Raso and Mello 2012]. Differently from the traditional conception of insubordination [Evans 2007], we propose a synchronic view, strongly based on the analysis of the prosody/pragmatics interface in spoken language. We show that i...

Filtration of molten metals using open cell ceramic filters has proven the premises regarding improvements final product quality. The Collaborative Research Center 920 made a substantive record in developing carbon-bonded alumina ( C − Al 2 O 3 ) filters. Considering mechanical loads carried by these filters, material strength determination is necessary step to improve their performance. Brazil...

Using high-resolution SPH simulations in a fully cosmological cold dark matter context, we study the formation of a bright disc-dominated galaxy that originates from a ‘wet’ major merger at z= 0.8. The progenitors of the disc galaxy are themselves disc galaxies that formed from early major mergers between galaxies with blue colours. A substantial thin stellar disc grows rapidly following the la...

Mechanisms of disc displacement in temporomandibular joint (TMJ) internal derangement (ID) in mandibular asymmetry have not been clearly defined. This study examines the degree and direction of disc displacement and their relationship with vertical asymmetry in terms of both clinical and biomechanical aspects. A retrospective study of disc displacement was performed in 31 mandibular asymmetry p...

The analysis of the kinematics of solar neighbourhood stars shows that the low and high metallicity tails of the thin disc are populated by objects which orbital properties suggest an origin in the outer and inner galactic disc, respectively. Signatures of radial migration are identified in various recent samples, and are shown to be responsible for the high metallicity dispersion in the age-me...
